The unique structure of the X chromosome shaped by evolution has led to the present
gender-specific genetic differences, which are not shared by its counterpart, the Y …

This Review focuses on recent developments in forensic DNA typing. It highlights important
recent advances and issues in forensic human identification and identifies representative …

Forensic genetic laboratories perform an increasing amount of genetic analyses of the X
chromosome, in particular to solve complex cases of kinship analysis. For some biological …

The forensic DNA profiling technique has tremendously contributed to forensic human
identification, an important aspect in forensic investigations. In instances whereby …

Insertion/deletion markers (InDels) become an important marker for forensic medicine
because of their compatible typing techniques with STRs and lower mutation rates. Recent …

The GHEP-ISFG organized a collaborative study to estimate mutation rates for the markers
included in the Investigator Argus X-12 QS kit Qiagen. A total of 16 laboratories gathered …

X-chromosomal markers have been proved as a useful tool for solving complex kinship
cases due to its sex-linked inheriting feature. Among these markers, tightly linked X-STR …

The study describes the development of a new multiplex PCR system that simultaneously
amplifies 16 X chromosome short tandem repeats (X-STRs) loci in a single PCR reaction …

With a unique inheritance pattern compared to autosomal short tandem repeats (A‐STRs), X
chromosomal STRs (X‐STRs) have special usage in forensic relationship testing. In this …

X‐chromosome short tandem repeat (X‐STR) tools are crucial in forensic genetics and
human population fields. This study presents the development and validation of a multiplex …
